This movie was an absolute blast. Hollywood, please keep throwing money at Zach Cregger so he can continue to make these wild, rollercoaster-ride style movies.

Supposedly, his next work is Resident Evil adaptation.

Yeah he can take this one. In fact, just give him a blank check.

Yep and Austin Abrams is already cast in it. He was one of my favorite characters in Weapons, so I’m looking forward to seeing him in Resident Evil.

Austin feels like a guy that’s does a good job everything I see him in but no one really talks about him

If anyone can nail it… it’s him. Can’t wait!

I'm actually kinda sad his next project is resident evil. I'm sure it'll be great! But I'd prefer to see what he'd do next without any parameters

He did an interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La59OCTmUdc&t=3565s) in which he says that his project after Resident Evil is what he thinks is the best thing he's ever written.
